We discovered a new show on PBS while we were at Tutu's house last week. It's called "Super Why" and is fabulous! It's about a little boy named Wyatt that dresses like a super hero, and his power is "The Power to Read". He has little friends who have the powers of spelling, etc, etc. When they have a question, they "look in a book" - it's all stories and reading. Beth told me about this show several months ago, but we never got around to seeing it. The boys normally watch either Curious George or Little Einsteins after they wake up in the morning, and then that's it for the day. Well, they LOVED "Super Why" last week and have chosen that as their show each morning this week!
It's really resonating with Josiah because his reading has really taken off in the last two weeks. I pulled out this set of "Bob" books that my mom had gotten him a few months back, and he went to town reading them this morning! He has always loved books, and he thinks it is so cool that he can read them himself now! I couldn't help but record him! I'm so proud of my little super reader! There's something about seeing it all click into place that just excites the teacher in me! It's the beginning of a whole new phase of learning for him. So this video is primarily for daddy, Tutu, & Aunt Kelli who I KNOW will love seeing this! (Well, never mind about the video - for some reason I can't get it to upload. Oh well!)

glad your boys were finally able to check it out. it is so fun to see them reading, isn't it! i know josiah is a super reader! :)
Yep, thanks for the reminder to set my DVR up accordingly!!
Clara Loves that show too -- Good for Josiah to take such an interest in reading at such a young age!
I've heard about that show, but never caught it, but I'll have to check it out.
I had to set up the DVR to record it and it was a big hit with Jake. I hadn't ever heard about it before!
We love Super Why!! It's an awesome show. We found it about a year ago on one of our sick days when we were watching too much TV!! Wish it had been around when I was a teacher. I found myself saying how certain episodes could fir great into this or that lesson plan!
